The Cure for Love is a 1949 British comedy film starring and directed by Robert Donat. The cast also includes Renee Asherson and Dora Bryan. The film was based on a hit play of the same name by Walter Greenwood about a mild-mannered soldier returning home after the Second World War.

Production

Donat had appeared in the stage play in 1945.[2] In 1948 it was announced he would make a film version for Alexander Korda.[3] It was his sole feature credit as director, although he had directed on stage.

Francis Wignall was chosen out of 3,000 boys to play a lead role.[4] Donat battled ill health during pre-production.[5] The production was shot at Shepperton Studios, with sets designed by the art director Wilfred Shingleton.

Reception

Trade papers called the film a "notable box office attraction" in British cinemas in 1950.[6]
